CAREER GOALS

[Anonymous No.3724656]

For those of you wanting to 'make it' as an artist, what are you aiming for?

[Anonymous No.3724671]

>>3724656
my own studio
being able to have five huge canvases hanging on the wall to work on, seperately or simultaneously
less worry about making money
being able to buy a whole stock of new materials
fame isn't that important. the process of making and the opportunity to explore is way more productive than early or fast fame. still, success is important, so i wish i'd sell more.

pretty honest hour for me

My Holy Grail is basically being hired remotely, full-time. I don't need much more, just to have the least bit of sense of security. I hate being around people at a studio/office, but being a freelancer is also stressful. It's still very far away from now, but in a couple of years, maybe...

My ultimate goal is to transcend the restraints of human existence. Through art, I will become a god, and acquire the ability to manipulate reality itself. Unfortunately for everyone hear, and ever human currently in exists (or will ever exist for that matter), I am the only one capable of this feat. See you throughout space and time, faggots.

It seems that interacting with mere mortals has affected my advanced cognitive abilities. As such, a few spelling mistakes have been made. Fear not, for my IQ has recovered, and continues to grow exponentially.

[Anonymous No.3724758]

I just want to be content.

[Anonymous No.3724761]

This has been a struggling question for me for the last few months, as I had a bit of existential crisis with my art. I have been drawing for 4 years now, for the last 2 I have been bit on and off as i was dabbling in 3d stuff. But now i have finished college with a degree in multimedia and just a short animated film to show for.

Now i am neeting at my parents house for the last couple of months and soo far I have only set up my own little studio in one of the rooms. But i am kinda lost on what excatly I want to create. One on side I want to make cartoons, but I know in my country it is near impossible to live of off, but on the other side I want to make 3d models or renders like beeple is making. Now last few months i have thinking about learning basic python programing make either apps or games with my own art. On top of that i want to learn how write scripts for cartoon shorts. But for now i try to make atleast 1 finished piece each month.

I really hate how sporadic my interests are. I cant seem to focus on one thing to get it to higher skill level and I am mostly stuck with many things that I am mediocre with. I am still undecided but now I have set myself a goal of earning atleast 5k within a year with whatever skillset mentioned above will get me the fastest to that goal.
pic is not my art but something simliar to my level

>tl;dr too many interests now I will try to focus on one which brings more $$

>strawpoll
>actual facts
>0% making art just as an hobbyist

So can i safely assume that "making art just for yourself" is a meme?

Starting small and trying to gain a following on social media. I got 17 followers on ig and 12 on twitter after a couple of days so far.

[Anonymous No.3724773]

>>3724768
why do people use twitter for art? what does it have that instagram doesn't?

[Anonymous No.3724781]

>>3724773
Because there's no reason not to. Instagram is probably the best for exposure, but twitter exists so why not?

[Anonymous No.3724786]

>>3724781
are there many people who use twitter for art who aren't on instagram?

[Anonymous No.3724799]

>>3724773
Hentai art. Twitter is more secretive.

Just want to have the courage to get out of anonimity.
A lot of my work, especially poems, feature stuff I'd rather not have everybody know about me too quickly; suicide attempts, madness and showing love for things such as hatred and bitterness. I guess when you get famous/rich people are more accepting, untill then, I'll just enjoy it mostly as a creative hobby

I just want to draw at a level where when I finish a drawing I would feel satisfaction instead of frustration and hatred.

[Anonymous No.3724860]

>>3724656
Be the modern Sargent, except instead of high society, draw pure qts with trad values

[Anonymous No.3725005]

>>3724656
Finish to build the imaginary world I have in mind through drawings and illustrated stories before I die
Never be satisfied and keep improving until I die
Live off my art decently without making compromises
Having /ic/ crabs regularly shit on my work (also come back to /ic/ every once in a while to join them for a bit or give advice)

junior concept artist > senior > art director > Creative art director / branch off to manage own design studio. Somewhere inbetween senior and CAD / studio this: Start family.

The very last thing is the number one priority but junior won't be a problem. Praise vilppu.

[Anonymous No.3725242]

I want to be respected within the indie comic circle with series that have close to mainstream appeal, however offensive enough to keep normies out. That's like the end goal, but the first one is finishing my first chapter.

[Anonymous No.3725266]

art gf cause im lonely

[Anonymous No.3725270]

i dont have any expecttions
im content with just painting
sure i want to improve but i'd rather sustain my lifestyle of learning art
i dont need any large studios or crowds of fans
it would be nice
but i have my little laptop and i have my own mind as my favorite fan
im happy with just being able to express myself

[Anonymous No.3725299]

>>3724673
This
I'd like to be able to do freelance illustrations for books, covers, promotional stuff etc.
It would be incredible for people to see my "art style" and instantly recognize it.
I also just want to make art for people. Not only commissions, but just art to bring some joy into peoples' lives because life sucks ass and we could all use some art to enjoy.
If I ever get good enough to bring awe to them.
